newbie here.

Hey there, I'm a newbie here. Seems like there's a lot of great information here from experienced riders. I guess my first question is I'd like to switch my fox talas 36 RC2 fork for a fox 40 RC2, how or will this change the bikes geometry? The bike is a Diamondback scapegoat basically a beefy version of a mission 3. I'm not trying to turn this into a full on DH bike but i'd like to have a couple more inches of travel. I do mostly freeride and bike park style riding. All opinions appreciated, thanks!

Hey Erik,

It will make the front end a bit slacker which is better for downhill, but will obviously be heavier. If I were you, I'd stick with a single crown and just go with one that has a bit more travel, though you'll have to look elsewhere than Fox. 6in. of travel for freeride/park isn't enough for you?
